** A Real-Time Show

Rating: 3.1


A REAL-TIME SHOW!

Between the earth and the sky, -
Tall towers, buildings and skyscrapers,
Raise their heads in proud defiance,
Shielding inside them our tiny lives!
And between the earth and the sky, -
The gathering of souls hear our ceaseless
echoes of love and hate, -
Against the backdropp of music divine, -
Punctuated by our man-made blasts!
The souls in deep silence of space,
Remain amused seeing this thirst for life
below,
As we enact our never ending real time
show!

We build large edifices to prove how clever we are, yet all the time we do not know whether we should love or hate, kiss or kill. Life today is one big competition, instead of being a lifelong cooperation. It is no wonder the souls in our silence are so amused. Well said Raj, the world has still so much to learn, from lessons learned in ancient times. Bob

Between the earth and the sky, - Tall towers, buildings and skyscrapers, Raise their heads in proud defiance, Shielding inside them our tiny lives! And between the earth and the sky, - The gathering of souls hear our ceaseless..... what have we not done to vitiate the atmosphere... almost caging our souls in the towers..... beautiful imagination from pious soul....10
